Once the seedling has thrust its head through the soil, it enters into the vegetative stage of growth. Vegetation simply means to be growing.
The vegetative stage is the brief time in which the marijuana plant will be growing as fast as it possibly can. Photosynthesis begins immediately. This is the period in which the plant will develop its height, stem thickness and side branching, and during this time it will also develop its future bud sites.
This is a period of great natural stress for the plants, so care must be taken to maintain the proper temperature and humidity level, as well as providing sufficient water, along with the nutrients needed to obtain maximum development.
Lighting is mandatory for good vegetative growth. It is important to prevent sudden blackouts, too many hours of unexpected daylight, or light leaks, as these problems will cause the plant to turn "hermie" - to become a hermaphrodite.
